In enzymology a phenylacetate-CoA ligase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + phenylacetate + CoA AMP + diphosphate + phenylacetyl-CoAThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP phenylacetate and CoA whereas its 3 products are AMP diphosphate and phenylacetyl-CoA.This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases specifically those forming carbon-sulfur bonds as acid-thiol ligases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is phenylacetate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming).
